Apparition Apparitions Bernadette Birthplace Born Lourdes Marian Marie Mill Mystic Soubirous
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Old Mill in Lourdes, France, where Bernadette Soubirous was born on January 7, 1844. The mill, located on the Gave River, is an integral part of the history and legend of Bernadette, who became a venerated saint in the Catholic Church. Bernadette, a humble peasant girl, reported experiencing sixteen apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary between February 11 and July 16, 1858, in the grotto near the mill. During these apparitions, Bernadette was instructed by the Virgin Mary to drink from the spring water and to share it with others, leading to the miraculous healings and the establishment of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes. The Old Mill, with its picturesque setting and historical significance, has been a popular pilgrimage site for millions of visitors from all over the world. The mill, which dates back to the 16th century, has undergone several restorations over the years but still retains its original charm and character. This photograph, taken circa 1908, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the birthplace of a remarkable Christian mystic and saint. Bernadette Soubirous's story of faith, devotion, and miracles continues to inspire and captivate people from all walks of life, making Lourdes and the Old Mill a place of profound spiritual significance.
